Google knows all about you. Yeah right, you know this, but do you know how much? It knows how many times you’ve been rick-rolled (YouTube), it knows that you have an unhealthy obsession with Gogol (Google Books), that you spend your working day flicking between 4Chan and textsfromlastnight (Chrome) and that you don’t read any [...]
Since my blog has had a facelift, I no longer have the completely useless Delicious sidebar thingy I made. This means I’m going to become one of those bloggers now and post a few links that you might like. I swear I’ll only do this once a week though. Promise. Kerry Gafney talks about the [...]
Politics is a sticky issue for me. I have massive left/right internal conflicts, but tend to take a libertarian view of the world. Sometimes borderline anarchistic, but not in a bad way, in the best way. I feel like I had to explain my stance before I begin to write what I’m about to write… [...]
